Diabetes Management Program

The Diabetes Management Program is designed to help you take charge of
your health by learning about diabetes and the importance of controlling
your blood sugar (glucose) level. Our goal is to keep you as healthy and
active as possible and minimize potential complications.

Our program is designed for individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes
and includes:

A 10-hour course in diabetes management (both day and evening
classes are offered)

Support groups and other resources

A 10-year research study completed by the National Institutes of
Health proved that good blood-glucose control prevents or delays many of
the complications of diabetes.

Education

Our individual consults and group classes are conducted by nurses and
dietitians who are certified diabetes educators. Specific topics
include:

What is diabetes?

Measuring your own blood sugar

Meal planning

Medication management

Stress management

Avoiding complications

Using exercise to control your diabetes

Controlling diabetes is ultimately your responsibility. We can provide
you with the information and skills necessary to take on that
responsibility with confidence. We've helped countless individuals with
diabetes live healthy, active, productive lives.
